CyberTech, a division of JSE-listed technology company Altron, has bagged a R5.5 million security and network operations tender for the Gautrain Management Agency (GMA).
The contract includes a significant security and management investment into GMA's infrastructure to ensure the organisation gains full visibility into its security and threat landscape, says CyberTech.
Commenting on the deal, Boland Lithebe, managing executive of CyberTech, says: "Our technology is enabling Gautrain to run their trains on time, supported by a secure and protected technology network which is not vulnerable to cyber attacks globally or locally.
"In this partnership, we are intentionally driving societal impact in safety and security by protecting the Gautrain network using intelligent monitoring services to predict and prevent downtimes resulting in a safe and world-class travel service for Gautrain commuters."
"GMA is known for excelling in the IT space and in leading the way when it comes to resource management and thought leadership," says Nkhane Lugisani, chief information technology officer at GMA.
"This means we have to continuously invest in solutions that would always ensure uptime, meet our business requirements and ensure that our cyber security compliance parameters are met. For us, the relationship with CyberTech has allowed us to tick all the right boxes and move forward in the right direction."
"This investment was a proactive step by GMA thanks to their awareness of the threats they face and the need to ensure that their security remains state-of-the-art," adds Lithebe. "We provided GMA with a solution that delivers intelligent cyber security capabilities, threat monitoring across global sources, and in-depth analysis of the threat landscape."
In addition to the threat intelligence capabilities of the centre, CyberTech provided GMA with security information management as-a-service, honeypots (security solutions that counteract unauthorised use of systems as either operating expenses or capital expenses), file integrity monitoring and active database monitoring.
The solution includes network operations monitoring across the entire GMA infrastructure, 24/7 monitoring and remediation, incident support and security architecture services.
